It only happened once so far, usually the effect works fine.
Please ask your packager to redo their kdebase-workspace package with the official tarball. This crash only occurs for distributions that released KDE 4.2.1 before it was ready. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 179537 ***
